[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1811070, member: 24816"] If he’s still trying to nurse cows then that would be a problem that if it were mine I’d get rid of. I retained what I predicted to be a calving ease bull, because I had several heifers and wanted to minimize problems. The bull did just what I wanted him to do, but they were tiny calves. From a growth standpoint I had figured they might not grow the best. They had a range of growth with some being along in size with some of the average calves from the other bull out of cows. But over all they were somewhat smaller and were a few weeks older. When bred to cows his calves were still tiny and still most lacked size in comparison to the other bull, also a calving ease bull, but larger. That bull grew to have a bit of an unpredictable disposition which I didn’t like and eventually culled him. [/QUOTE]
